best SAK for biology/outdoors?

See? You try to use one of those things, it gets you in trouble :). Seriously, our botanists and entomologists carry pocket loupes/magnifiers. The ones on the knives, from experience as a kid, get pretty scratched up unless the knife is babied. The older I get, the more useful the corkscrew has become, especially in South Africa, where the wine is fine and cheap.
 
After carrying an Explorer for a couple of weeks, I have found it's probably just a little big for me for the added functionality of the in line Phillips and magnifier. They're good. But it's not a favorite SAK. For field usage, I'd prefer the Camper, Hiker, or even the Ranger (just as big as the Explorer, but more useful). Or a Farmer.

I don't dislike the Explorer, but it's not a favorite.
